General Information

If you have 9 or less payers for extension requests, you MAY NOT e-File
your extensions. Do not use this procedure! Instead, for 9 or less payers, use the FIRE.IRS.GOV web site interactively to enter
extension requests manually and receive an
immediate response. When using FIRE.IRS.GOV interactively, you do not need a TCC,
a nice advantage.

You MUST e-file when you have 10 or more payers requesting extensions of time.
Also, you must have a TCC number. To get a TCC number
click here to get form 4419.
Complete, then FAX Form 4419 to the IRS, following the instructions for Block 9
(do not mail form 4419).
For extension requests filed via an electronic file, the transmitter must fax
Form 8809 the same day as the electronic transmission.

Each IRS style file must be for only ONE type of extension request. It
must be either for 1. An extension of time to file Copy A to the IRS, or 2. An
extension of time to file recipient copies. The first request for an extension
of time to file to the IRS is granted automatically. For more information see
Publication 1220, Part D.

When NOT to use Excel: If you must keyboard everything, use the 1099
Express Program. It validates everything as you type. Excel does not validate.

When TO USE Excel: You can use Excel if you prefer to type into Excel. Or
use Excel is you have a team of people entering data to meet a deadline. You can
then combine them all into one spreadsheet for e-Filing. Use Excel if you can
export the data from some other program, such as your accounting program. This
could avoid typing all or part of the data. For example, maybe you could export
the Payer's names and Tax ID numbers. Then just complete the rest in Excel by
hand, using the power of Excel to drag down, or whatever.
